Sheikh Shahabuddin Delawar made these remarks during a meeting with several former Wolesi Jirga members.<\/p>\n<p>The commission announced today on its X (formerly Twitter) page that a number of former Wolesi Jirga deputies met with Sheikh Delawar. Asadullah Shahbaz, Nader Khan Katwazi, Qimat Khan Mangal, Seyed Saleh Mohammad Saleh, Seyed Mohammad Sadiq Hasanzadeh, and Ismail Atikan were identified as participants in the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>According to the published information, the former Wolesi Jirga members expressed support for the ruling system during the meeting, stating that the &#8220;Islamic system&#8221; is the common ideal of all Afghans. They also emphasized that the people are tired of war and that there is now a need to work for the country&#8217;s development in an atmosphere of unity and brotherhood. The source added that they shared some problems and suggestions with the commission head as well.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh Delawar referred to Afghanistan as the &#8220;shared home of all Afghans,&#8221; asserting that with the Taliban administration in power, occupation has ended, and the country&#8217;s reconstruction is progressing relying on domestic revenues and budgets. He stressed that &#8220;no one should have concerns about returning to the homeland&#8221; and that migrants can return with confidence.<\/p>\n<p>However, this invitation to return comes amid the fact that in recent years thousands of Afghans have left the country due to widespread restrictions, economic difficulties, and security concerns. Critics argue that a mere declaration of security is insufficient, and the Taliban administration must practically ensure inclusive participation, respect for fundamental citizens&#8217; rights, and the creation of real opportunities for work and life to make the return of refugees a viable and sustainable option.<\/p>\n<p>At the conclusion of the meeting, the head of the Commission for Contact with Afghan Personalities assured that the raised suggestions and problems will be examined and that efforts will be made to resolve them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taliban official Sheikh Delawar urges Afghan refugees to return, claiming security in Afghanistan, amid ongoing economic and security concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15187,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
